User blog comment:LegionZero/Nero's Parallels to Vergil and Sparda/@comment-967403-20140813075203

People don't say he's Vergil son solely on their paralells. But that's not the topic tho.

Here's some I know of that parallel/similarities:


 * Vergil and Nero: Their Devil Triggers look similar. Nero's DT looks like a combo between Nelo Angelo's DT & Vergil DMC3 DT. It has features from both.


 * Vergil and Nero: Another tidbit here. This is something not present in the story but interesting nonetheless. The Nelo Angelo theme in DMC 1 is present in DMC4. Or at least the beginning when Nero unlocks his DT for the first time. Coincidence? XD I think NOT! (DONT BERNIE ME!)


 * Vergil and Nero: A Pure coincidence. Nelo Angelo means "Black Angel". It just so happens the color "Black" in Italian is "Nero". And DMC4 has an Angelic theme going in, especially with the Holy Knights and one of their members(now former) is Nero!And they used part of the "Dark Angel" to create their Bianco Angelos. Haha. Pure coincidence according to the actual developers.


 * Vergil and Nero: Embraced their Demonic Hertiage. Though Nero didn't put down the human race.


 * Nero & Sparda: Their personalities are alike, too. A comment from Berial confirms this. After all, he never met Vergil or Dante(till later) and most likely spoke about Sparda. Probably cementing the rebellious attitude they share.


 * Nero and Sparda: Both draw their power for their love for humanity. Whether it comes in the form of loving one person or doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do.(They seem to do both) Nero mentioned that Sanctus couldn't use Sparda "had a heart, in which you(Sanctus) lack!" He couldn't have come to such conclusion If he didn't possess it himself.


 * Nero, Sparda, & Vergil: All of them strive to use their power to protect people but for different reasons. Though only Nero & Vergil actively look for power. Sparda protects humanity and Eva of course! Nero protects Kyrie! Vergil...well...we don't know. He spoke that If you don't have the power, you cant protect others let alone yourself. We never got around to exactly why he wants power now. I mean, yeah his mom died and it was tragic but he was seeking power still and she's dead. Who else would be out there? This is where some people think he might of found someone he cared about despite his harshly cold exterior and interior and/or maybe perhaps Nero If you believe it's his son. Otherwise, he's doing it for the sake of having power...i guess?
